Letter to Secretary (Posts) i/c/w transfer of Circle Treasurer at Circle HQ

Subject:  Request for considering immunity to the office bearers of   IP/ASP Association and fair deal with its members.

Ref.      :   Directorate Memo No. 10-1/2004-SR dated 25^th June 2004

Respected Madam, 

        IP/ASP Association would like to bring to your kind notice that CPMG Rajasthan Circle has not considered the request of Circle Treasurer for transfer at Circle Headquarter under immunity service. Therefore this Association isdistressed over the spree of vindictive and doctorial actions of Circle against the IP/ASP cadre that too keeping the Directorate orders at stake.

        Madam, as you may be aware that certain trade union privilege and facilities are provided to the office bearers of the association in the relevant constitution of the concerned union/ association. Provision of concession of immunity for transfer is one of them. Furthermore, CCS (RSA) Rules 1993 are promulgated by the Government in order to regulate the associations, while on the contrary, attempts are themselves made by the Administration to defeat the object of Service Association. Service Association has been formed primarily with the object of promoting the common service interest of its members. Except this forum, there had been no avenue for the employees to hear their grievances and seek redressal.

        With much and deep sorrow, the members of this Association are constrained to convey our resentment towards step motherly attitude of Rajasthan Circle administration in not providing immunity for transfer to the office bearer. It is a fact that Circle Association’s body was constituted on 24/8/2013 and Circle Treasurer Shri Gauri Shankar presently working as ASP (HQ) Tonk Division has applied for transfer under immunity service  vide his application dated 31/1/2014 but now Circle Administration vide letter No. Staff/9-4/Ch.IX dated 15/9/2014 informed to this Association that “as regards immunity of transfer of above named official, Circle Secretary, Asstt. Circle Secretary and Asstt. Treasurer of Rajasthan Circle IP/ASP Association are already working at Jaipur (HQ), as such work of circle treasurer can easily bear Asstt. Treasurer. Moreover, the body was constituted on 24/8/2013 has already elapse a period of one year to offer posting at headquarter”. This is definitely a de-motivating factor which will affect the morale of the cadre. This Association strongly protests this kind of attitude of the Circle administration. Our Circle Treasurer has already applied for transfer within the time limit, but issue was intentionally found delayed by Circle Administration. 

        It is therefore urged upon to cause necessary instructions to CPMG Rajasthan Circle to treat members of IP/ASP Association at par with other trade unions and provide special privilege to our members as given in the constitution and consider the request of Circle Treasurer for transfer at circle headquarter under immunity service immediately.

A Line in reply is requested.

                   

          Yours sincerely,

                                                                                                                                                          Sd/-

Expected DA from January 2015 – The Next Episode Begins…!

Expected DA from January 2015 – The Next Episode Begins…!

The Centre has announced a hike of 7% Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief for Central Government employees and Pensioners, with effect from July 2014 on 4th of this month. Soon, Finance Ministry will issue appropriate orders for payment of Dearness allowance to all. As and when orders are published by the Ministry of Finance, we will be posted in our website immediately.

According to the fluctuation of price index past six months from Jan to Jun 2014, the additional Dearness allowance has been arrived as 7% only. It seems there are a few employees who are unhappy with the single-digit number because until then they have been getting double-digit DA hikes.

The disappointment also reflects the high expectations that people have from the Modi government. Our readers have been raising a number of questions in this regard. While the previous Manmohan Singh government had twice given them DA hike of 10%, why has Modi government given them only 7% increase?

First of all, the ruling party at the Centre has no direct impact on the DA calculations. DA is calculated on the basis of AICPIN points, which are based on price rise.

The current system of DA calculations, which is being done as per the recommendations of the 6th Pay Commission, will come to an end after two more instalments (Jan 2015 and July 2015). Recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission are expected to come into effect from Jan 2016 onwards.

Now, the next episode begins…’Expected DA from January 2015′

It is highly unlikely that there will be a two-digit DA hike in the next two instalments (January 2015 and July 2015). Kindly keep in mind the fact that despite a 6 point increase of the AICPIN from 246 to 252 for the month of July 2014, there was hardly an impact. Even if it increases by 3 points over the next five months, the DA would increase to 9% only. It is impossible for AICPIN to constantly increase in future.

We believe that, under current circumstances, the next installment of additional Dearness allowance from Jan 2015 hike would only be about 6% or 7%.

Subject:  Request for initiating vigilance enquiry into the death case of Smt. Mohini Gupta, ASP Ajmer (Rajasthan).

Ref.      :    Directorate No. Vig./2-1/2014/Ch-II dated 28/3/2014

Respected Sir,

          I would like to invite your kind attention to this Association’s letter of even number dated 18/3/2014 and 25/4/2014 whereby it was requested to constitute a committee at Directorate level to carry out vigilance enquiry on the points raised by the deceased officer in her representation dated 19/1/2014 to elicit the truth in the death case of loyal and hard worker officer. But till date Directorate has neither carried out vigilance enquiry nor communicated the progress of the case to this association. It is hearsay that Directorate has simply called for report from Rajasthan Circle, which will not fetch the clear picture of the case.  

             Therefore again and again it was requested your honour to look into the matter personally and cause to complete the vigilance enquiry in the matter on top priority basis, otherwise officials involved in this case will devastate the genuine records etc.  

             An early action and line in reply is requested.

    Yours sincerely,

No Need to Open Another Bank Account to Avail of Benefits Under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY);

Department of Financial Services, Ministry of Finance, Government of India has issued instructions that in case people are already holding bank accounts, they need not open another bank account to avail of benefits under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY). In fact insurance benefits are available through the RuPay Card. The existing account holders can submit an application to the concerned branch to enable them to get a RuPay Debit Card in order to avail of the benefits of insurance under PMJDY. Micro credit limit of Rs. 5000/- can also be extended in existing bank accounts on application depending on the satisfactory conduct of the account. 

There had been complaints from some places about the availability of the Account Opening Forms due to huge rush and certain people taking advantage of such situation. In view of this, an advertisement has been issued in all major Newspapers where the Account Opening Form has been published. Anybody desirous of opening an account can come and take this Application Form to the nearest bank branch/bank mitr for opening the account. This one page Account Opening Form is also available on the website of the Department www.financialservices.gov.in . 

RBI has issued guidelines dated 26th August, 2014, where people who do not have officially valid documents or Aadhaar Numbers can still get bank accounts opened by submitting two (2) copies of signed photographs at the bank branch. However, these accounts will be called small accounts and shall normally be valid for 12 months and shall be continued subject to showing of proof that he/she has applied for any of the officially valid document within 12 months of opening of such ‘Small Account’’. These accounts have certain limitations such as balance at any point of time should not exceed Rs. 50,000/-, total credit in one year should not exceed Rs. one lac, and total withdrawal should not exceed Rs. 10,000/- in a month.

DPC for the promotion to the cadre of PS Gr. B for the vacancy year 2014-15

DPC for the promotion to the cadre of PS Gr. B for the vacancy year 2014-15

It is learnt that Directorate is likely to call for ACRs/APARs of officers in the ZoC for holding of DPC for promotion to the cadre of PS Gr. B in the vacancy year 2014-15 in this week. 

     It is therefore requested to all Circle Secretaries and CHQ office bearers to ask the controlling officers of the IPs of 1990 to 1992 batch to keep ACRs/APARs ready in all respect for dispatch to concerned circle office. As everybody knows that unless ACRs/APARs are ready, DPC can't be held on time. Attested copies of ACRs/APARs for five years prior to 2013-14 (i.e. 2012-13 and previous years) may likely to called for, hence everybody needs to take active part for submission of requisite information to their circle office for timely convening  of DPC. 

     It is also requested to all officers who are in the zone of consideration (OC- 1990 to 1992 batch, SC/ST-1992 & 1993 batch) to ensure completion of their ACRs/APARs in all respect by their controlling authority in this week only.
